The hottest Easter Egg on the market this year. Literally!

March 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Scorchio (http://www.scorchio.co.uk), the UK’s leading online chilli source today announced the launch of its chilli chocolate Easter egg; a perfect, handmade fusion of sumptuous, organic, dark chilli chocolate and silky smooth white chocolate.   Not one for the children, this is a perfect Easter treat for the chilli lover, couples with taste buds at opposite ends of the Scoville scale and perhaps even those not typically turned on by chocolate.  

One side of the egg is crafted from the ultimate in chilli chocolate.  Deliciously-rich, dark, organic chocolate with 73% cocoa solids, infused with the world’s hottest chilli – the Naga Jolokia –  dipped in a mix of dark chocolate and chilli flakes.  It has a taste sensation like no other, which blows all other chilli chocolates away*.  First you are treated to the delicious pleasure of the dark chocolate before the slow build up of exquisite heat.  

The dark side finds its perfect partner in the finest, organic, white chocolate, part coated in white chocolate flakes.   Its milky smoothness is the perfect calming antidote to the chilli’s fiery heat.  Eat the two in tandem, Alice in Wonderland-like, so that just as you release a burst of fire, your mouth is filled with melting creamy white chocolate.  

It comes beautifully packaged, nestled in bed of red tissue paper, enclosed in see through bag tied with a raffia bow, accompanied by dried chillies and protected by a brown chest box.  What is more, all of the packaging is recyclable.  Receiving this Scorchio parcel will definitely be a tingling treat.

The egg was commissioned exclusively for Scorchio from Cocoa Loco (www.cocoaloco.co.uk), winner of The Times/Soil Association Food Hero from 2008 food hero award, and provider of all-organic and hand-made luxurious chocolate gifts.

* Customer testimonial: Wow, just like the label suggests, this really is a saucy little number, dishing up equal amounts of pleasure and pain. This is seriously good quality dark chocolate and when you first put a piece in your mouth that's what impresses - smooth, ultra rich, finest dark chocolate. Then within moments, POW!, hardcore heat kicks in flooding your taste buds with a wonderful combination of heat and chocolate. My advice would definitely be to try a very small piece at a time. Not just because it's very fiery but so you can savour the divine taste for as long as possible. It's got to be tried.
